I think you are missing the point of a central (samba or NT) served based
domain. By keeping all shared resourses on the server you have a better
chance of them secure and being available when needed. Its the third item
in you list that is the problem. Having other people looking at a w95 box
for shares is insecure, difficult to administer, unsafe in that w95 boxes
crash, might be turned off by an operator and have an inferior file system
that unix or ntfs. Can you consider having the shares on the samba server ?
